In 1959, Brampton was 99% White. 70.1% White in 1996. 43% White by 2006. As of 2011, it is 32.9% White. This was not an accident and some people are highly pissed off about it.
BRAMPTON – A third anti-immigrant flyer has surfaced in Brampton, after two similar leaflets were circulated last year.
This past weekend an unidentified group distributed the flyers to approximately 1,000 homes in the downtown area of Main Street and Wellington Street West, an anonymous resident informed The Guardian.
The flyer warns about the city’s dwindling ‘European’ population and claiming the decrease is the result of a ‘White Genocide.’
Peel Regional Police’s 22 Division Criminal Investigation Unit and its Diversity Relations Unit have initiated a joint inquiry to investigate the distribution as a possible hate crime.
The leaflet titled “They’ll ask you why you didn’t stand on guard” shows a crying baby with his mom superimposed on a world map, which presents a breakdown of ‘freedom in the world in 2015’ across the globe.
The map claims to show the levels of freedom among world populations, dividing them into the categories of free, partly free and not free, declaring “Freedom is a European concept, and it shows – if you think the Canada of today will be the Canada of tomorrow, think again.”
Last year, similar anti-Sikh flyers distributed in Brampton created an outrage across the community.
Immigration Watch Canada (IWC), a British Columbia-based organization, which believes that immigration has to serve the interests of its own citizens, admitted to delivering the first round of the 2014 flyers. But despite its logo appeared on it, the IWC denied delivering a second rounds of similar leaflets.
This time again, the IWC denies any responsibility.
“We did not distribute those flyers,” said Dan Murray, spokesperson of Immigration Watch Canada.
The flyer alleges to show Statistics Canada’s demographics for Brampton, listing the city’s European population as 70.1 percent in 1996, 59.8 percent in 2001, 43 percent 2006 and 32.9 percent in 2011.
The source of the map is given as Freedom House, a U.S.-based independent watchdog organization dedicated to the expansion of freedom around the world.
The Freedom House, however, also denies delivering these flyers in Brampton.
“Freedom House is not associated in any way with the creation or distribution of this flyer,” said Robert Ruby, director of communications of Freedom House, in an email message. “Our copyrighted ‘Freedom in the World’ was used without our authorization. We would not have granted permission for this use.
“The views expressed by this flyer are antithetical to the values and mission of Freedom House. We find the flyer and the misuse of our materials reprehensible,” said Ruby.
